Selviäisi

Selviäisi is a Finnish word that translates to "it would be possible" or "it could be done" in English. It is a compound word consisting of the verb "selviä" (to manage, to cope, to get by) and the suffix "-isi" which is used to form the conditional mood in Finnish. The conditional mood is used to express hypothetical or potential situations.

The word "selviäisi" is often used in everyday conversation to discuss possibilities or to express uncertainty about the outcome of a situation. For example, "Selviäisi, jos menisimme kotiin varhain" translates to "It would be possible if we went home early." This usage reflects the Finnish tendency to consider multiple scenarios and outcomes before making decisions.

In a more formal context, "selviäisi" can be used in legal or technical documents to discuss the feasibility of a plan or project. For instance, "Selviäisi toteuttaa uusi suunnitelma, jos saisi tarvittavat resurssit" means "It would be possible to implement the new plan if the necessary resources were obtained."

The conditional form "selviäisi" is a versatile tool in the Finnish language, allowing speakers to express a wide range of hypothetical and potential scenarios with clarity and precision.
